Terri, At 9 am Clearsky went from 20-40% cloud cover for tonight to CLEAR???
Also, the radar and satellite images show gaps in the clouds so that it may be
possible to show Saturn and Mars
from time to time tonight in between the clouds. Anyway, I will have my scope
in the car in case it is possible to show the planets. If you want to cancel,
I certainly understand. However I will go out there
tonight and not unload my scope unless it does look like I can show the
planets. Sam

The following are 9 weather forecasts as of 8 am Sat morning for Sat night at
Bookmans:
NOAA 45% clouds 7 mph wind
34% rain
Accuweather 25% 5 mph
4%
TWC 50% 7 mph
15%
Weather undgd 38% 8 mph
15%
Skippysky 40% 10 mph
?
yr.no 50% 8 mph
0%
Weather bug 50% 11 mph
?
Clearsky 20-40% 6-11 mph
?
Clear outside 92% 5 mph
0%
The above shows the cloud predictions have worsened from Tuesday to Friday to
Sat forecasts.
The clouds are not the high thin ones, but mid level that make it hard to see
even planets.
I hate to cancel since this Aug 20th PAS star party is in Phoenix Magazine. But
I will leave it up to
Terri to make the final decision. If Terri does cancel, the PAS calendar needs
to show it has been
cancelled due to heavy cloud predictions. Take care, Sam
The Sunday forecasts do not suggest cancelling our indoor telescope workshop.

The above shows worsening conditions from those predicted a few days ago. No
wind or rain problems but
the clouds are looking iffy. The good thing is that we are looking at bright
objects, planets and the moon.
I wouldn't cancel based on this, however, with monsoons I wouldn't unload
telescopes until it looks reasonable
outside. Take care, Sam
The following are 6 weather forecasts as of 9 am Friday morning for Sunday

NOAA 8-11% rain
Accuweather 38-51% rain ( .08 inches)
TWC 0% rain

Base on the above, I would not cancel the afternoon telescope workshop. There
is only one bad forecast
out of 6 and we will be inside. Take care, Sam
